> Who still watches over-the-air TV?
Some previous owner of our house put a large TV antenna in the attic and had it wired to all of the coax ports. The signal is outstanding and we get a wide variety of channels.
One of the no-name stations has a Spanish subchannel that broadcasts a bunch of pretty interesting soccer matches from central and South America. I only understand about 30% of what they're saying, but it's a soccer match, I know what's happening on the field, and there is a worldwide standard for referee hand signals. On a different channel, there have been a few US National team matches broadcast OTA in Spanish that aren't available for free in English - weird, isn't it?
If something I am interested in is on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, etc and I find out about it, I'll watch that too. But I'm not going to spend money or go out of my way to do this ATSC 3.0 DRM crap. If they switch, I'm done with it.
- Tommah 3y agoI watch soccer games on the OTA Spanish stations too. I'm nowhere close to fluent in Spanish, but my high-school Spanish has served me well. The announcers tend to say the same types of things over and over again, so over the years, I've kinda built up a phrase book in my head of all the usual stuff they say. In addition, I find the announcers in Spanish much more exciting than the ones in English.
